Super Summer

We have had a really fun summer this year--quite the contrast to last year's drama with Emily. Becca and Hannah got to spend a week by themselves at Grandma Susan's and Grandpa Pete's and thought it was awesome. Becca, Hannah and Peter Gordon all had swimming lessons at Seven Peaks. It rained two days and they still swam. We took the best family trip ever to the Pacific Northwest. We spent five days in Seattle hanging out with Brian, Carly and Cole. Gordon thoroughly enjoyed sitting on their porch watching the rain. The kids loved going to the Zoo with Aunt Carly and Cole. They also had a blast cruising Elliott Bay and visiting the Seattle Aquarium. We also spent some time on the Oregon coast and had fun hanging out at three different beaches (Beverly Beach, Cannon Beach and Cape Kiwanda Beach). We also enjoyed our stop over at Tillamook--good ice cream and great cheese. Last weekend we spent time with Chantel's family at Bear Lake. We enjoyed yummy raspberry milkshakes--the best ever according to Hannah and had a blast riding waverunners on the lake. Becca is apprehensive about starting school next week and Hannah can't wait. Peter Gordon just wants soccer to start and Emily is oblivious.
